Where is the CELT certificate recognised and by whom?

The CELT certificate entitles the bearer to teach the English language both in Ireland and abroad. It is the minimum requirement for employment in the recognised sector in Ireland. Due to increased standardisation of English language teaching certificates it is often the minimum requirement for teaching abroad too. The English equivalent would be the CELTA. Both certificates are fully recognised by the Irish Department of Education and the British Council.
